Thumbstick Athletes

For this week another 3DS title, this time a completely new IP in Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. Think of STEAM as a lighter version of XCom, without the interesting twists from failing a mission or getting a few squad members permanently killed. It does have comic book-esque versions of popular characters from American folklore, which is neat, as well as some parts where you fight as a giant Abraham Lincoln mech. It sounds more neat than it actually is, and STEAM ends up being a largely average game. Find out why in episode 191 of the TS Athletes podcast.
